This trip to Paris was mainly to spend time with family. We accomplished that goal along with getting to eat at Agapé, a Michelin star restaurant. It was exquisite! The location was perfect for us because we were staying with family and the quaint little restaurant was just around the corner from their apartment. I made reservations a month in advance of the trip. We went with the Carte Blanche menu with wine pairings. Service was excellent and the restaurant owner was there to answer any questions. It was obvious that he had trained his staff well and they all did their best to make the meal truly special. Every course was beautiful to look at as well as delicious. Although we only ate there once, I was told that everyday the menu changes using the freshest ingredients available. The wines were from all over France and unique, as well as perfectly paired to complement the flavor of the food they accompanied. Possibly the thing I liked best was that we didn’t have to think about anything. We sat there as they presented us with the best they had to offer that day, while allowing us the perfect amount of time to savor the flavor of each dish. (Pictured above is a blue lobster dish that was probably my favorite offering of the evening.)
Maybe I have gone on a little too much about the food, because it is family first. We planned our trip because of the family events that were occurring. I like to be there to capture the moment and I use this platform to share photographs with people who couldn’t be there, but wished they could. I don’t have a Facebook account and this format allows me to post photos and allow access to those who would appreciate them most–family and invited guests. If you are one of those people, click here to see the photos of these special events and some everyday things too. Anyone can click here to see photos that don’t include the private stuff.
